How does he hate the south? I believe you, of course, just interested in what he’s said or written. I know Gore Vidal disliked his father because his father once said he had no interest in our Civil War. Vidal felt that our Civil War was the defining moment in our history and to ignore it was weird in the extreme.
The son is one of the worst “film reviewers” I’ve ever read.
Neocons ...and no not all are Jewish live by this precept
One is Democrats have been evil from and including Andrew Jackson
Two their ideology is GOPe
Three they really can’t handle being associated with real not civic nationalism and the culture war that accompanies that
They eschew culture in favor of nation building and open borders
Four and this is the big one for me and you see it here. They are uncomfortable with historical Dixiecrats and their grandchildren as now the most dependable base of GOPe voting and think that by constantly demonizing out ancestry as evil nazi racist slavers and rebels that it absolves them of any guilt by association.
“See we’re not really racist too”
And this is I guess where some Jewish sense of fear comes in...many think it’s accurate to fear average right wing southerners with just a little push can be your next kristallnacht
Despite the fact that demographic is no question Israel’s biggest support in America
If you look at the early days of The New Republic and Marty Peretz the publisher you’ll see one branch of the origins of today’s no culture war GOPe even though Marty was a Mondale democrat
Kristol embodies this
Podhoretz as well but his dad was not as bad. His dad predates this.
For me it’s often seemed that these former New Deal Democrats from the urban north left the Dems because the Democrats became too soft on national security and in particular Israel
But despite the fact the more well known are Jewish, all neoconservatives are not Jewish...Romney for instance could be considered one as could most of the Bushes White House and so on
But make no mistake demonizing my ancestry is what they do because they think it helps them or....maybe they are just petty
